Definitions

  • the invention is concerned generally with the ensilage of a fodder mass, and in particular to provide a new and improved method for preserving fodder as well as machines to perform such methods.
  • the grass or wilted grass can be compacted by means of a square or round baler, or is compacted in a place of storage (pit / clamp) by its own weight and / or by driving over with a tractor or loader.
  • a place of storage pit / clamp
  • Another well known way of storing silage is in a tower silo. After the compaction, an airtight enclosure is formed over a silage pit with a plastics sheet. For round or square bales, stretched plastics film is completely wrapped around the bale.
  • bales An alternative method with bales is piling them to form a stack, and covering the stack with a plastics sheet.
  • the clamp When silage is required for feeding farm animals, the clamp is partly opened and the required silage is taken out. The clamp is left partly open, ready for the next discharge, and therefore oxygen can penetrate into the clamp, so that a minimum speed of discharge is needed to prevent moult, or other deterioration in the silage.
  • the film Before taking silage from wrapped bales, the film first has to be stripped from the bale.
  • apparatus as defined in claim 33.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective illustration of a conventional silage clamp, in which a compressed fodder mass is confined in a trench or walled enclosure (which is opened for discharge of the fodder after fermentation), and a plastics sheet covers the exposed surfaces of the fodder mass so as to exclude air and water and allow fermentation to take place;
  • Figure la is a detail of Figure 1, showing how it is necessary to hold down the plastics sheet with one or more external weights;
  • Figure 2 is a view, similar to Figure 1, of a first example of the invention, in which the exposed surfaces of the fodder mass are coated with a curable or settable gel coating which forms a protective air and water-tight foamed covering (also opened for discharge of the fodder after fermentation);
  • Figure 2a is a detail illustration of part of Figure 2, showing diagrammatically how outwardly projecting elements of the fodder mass e.g. stem material, become embedded in the foamed covering (this embedding in the foamed cover layer may also arise in subsequent examples of the invention described below with reference to the further figures of drawings);
  • elements of the fodder mass e.g. stem material
  • Figure 3 is a diagrammatic illustration of conventional wrapping of a cylindrical and a square bale of compressed fodder e.g. partly wilted grass;
  • Figure 4 illustrates another example of the invention, in which a cylindrical bale and a square bale are covered completely by a subsequently applied foamable gel coating;
  • Figure 4a illustrates a modification of the example of Figure 4, in which there is combined gel coating and film coverage of the bale;
  • Figure 5 illustrates conventional formation of stacks of cylindrical and square bales, which are covered with air and water-tight plastics sheets;
  • Figure 6 illustrates a further example of the invention, in which the exposed surfaces of the stacks are covered with a foamed gel coating.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawings shows a conventional silage clamp in which fodder is collected from the field and put into e.g. a trench silo (clamp or pit) by means of a loader. While bringing the fodder into the silo, the fodder is instantly compressed by riding over the fodder with the loader (to expel air from the fodder). When all the fodder has been put into the silo to form a compressed fodder mass 4, the silo is made airtight by means of putting a plastics sheet 3 over the top and the sides of the fodder mass. The sheet 3 is stabilised by putting on sand or heavy articles 6 so the wind will not get a grip on it. Also, the top layer of the fodder is compressed by this sand. The sides are made airtight to the ground by digging them into the ground.
  • the fodder mass 4 ferments to form silage.
  • Figure la is a detail showing how a large and heavy mass 6 is required to hold down the sheet 3 on the fodder mass 4.
  • Reference 5 shows how external air can gain access to the fodder mass 4 when the sheet 3 is partly removed.
  • the silo is made airtight by applying a gel coating 1 to the exposed surfaces of the fodder mass 4, and in which the gel is preferably a foamed gel.
  • An advantage to using the gel is that it is easier to apply on the silo than the plastics sheet 3.
  • Advantage of using a foaming gel is that less gel material is needed, because the foam will bridge the gaps or interstices between the fodder elements. Also, upon opening the clamp, the gel does not have to be removed from the silo because it will preferably be made of a material which can be safely eaten by animals.
  • the fodder is collected from the field and instantaneously compressed to form a round or square bale. After the bale has been compressed, its surface is wrapped with a so- called stretch film. This wrapping can be done on the compressing machine (an integrated baler / wrapper), or on a separate machine, a so-called wrapper.
  • the wrapped bales are stored on the field, or near the farm.
  • the film wrapping 13 is removed from the bale and the silage can be fed. Removing the film from the bale is a time consuming exercise, and of course also the removed film has to be disposed of safely.
  • a gel coating 1 is applied to the bales.
  • a (foam) gel coating 1 is applied onto the whole surface of the bale.
  • the advantage is that the stretch film sheet of Figure 3 does not have to be removed from the bale when the silage is being fed to the animals.
  • the gel coating 1 can be applied in situ on the baler (before discharge of the bale); directly after discharge of the bale; or with a special device before or after transportation to the place of storage.
  • An alternative is the use of both film (preferably edible) and also a gel coating.
  • This is shown in Figure 4a, and the advantage is that the surface of the bale that is in contact with the ground (or the transporting equipment) is covered with the film wrapping sheet 13, and the other parts are covered with a gel coating 1.
  • the sheet 13 has better instant mechanical properties, and so will not be damaged so quickly, and the gel coating has the advantages that it can be applied on areas of the surface which are difficult to reach.
  • the gel coating could be applied on the same surface with the film, and preferably with an edible film e.g. paper for better airtightness.
  • an apparatus for forming a compressed bale of a fodder mass comprises: a bale-forming chamber; means for feeding a fodder mass to the chamber; means for binding the compressed bale to hold its shape, preferably by applying a netting layer (or binding with twine) to enclose at least part of the outer surface of a bale, after formation in the chamber; and means for applying a coating to the outer surface of the bale, such coating being of such a nature as to set and form a substantially airtight and watertight covering on the bale.
  • means for applying the coating comprises spray jet nozzles arranged to apply the coating in jet form (preferably a gel coating, and especially a foamed gel) to the outer surface of the bale.
  • the jet nozzles may be arranged to apply the coating to the outer surface of the bale during, or after the binding of the bale.
  • the jet nozzles are mounted on the apparatus adjacent to the bale forming chamber (or channel), and are arranged to direct the gel coating onto the outer surface of the bale, and to penetrate the outer surface, whereby upon setting or curing, the coating forms a covering for the entire outer surface of the bale, and which also partly anchors itself into the outer surface of the bale thereby to contribute also to the maintenance of the shape of the bale.
  • Example 3 (making a stack of bales)
  • this shows a conventional way of covering stacks of bales with air and water-tight sheets, so that fermentation can take place to form silage.
  • the fodder is collected from the field and compressed into round or square bales 4 of the fodder.
  • the bales are transported to the place where they are stored. There they are piled onto each other to form a stack (pile).
  • the pile is covered with a sheet 3 to make the whole pile airtight, and which then ferments or matures to form a silage mass.
  • Figure 5 shows a rectangular stack formed from square bales, and also a generally triangular stack formed from round bales, and both opened up to allow removal of fermented fodder, and whereby atmospheric oxygen 5 gains access to the interior of the stack.
  • opening up the stack will expose the gaps 14 (between adjacent bales 4 in the stack) to contact with atmospheric oxygen 15 throughout the interior of the stack, which is clearly disadvantageous.
  • this shows the exposed surfaces of the stacks covered with a gel coating 1, according to a further example of the invention.
  • the stack is made airtight by applying a gel coating on the surface of the stack.
  • the advantage is that the sheet does not have to be removed from the stack, when the silage is fed to the animals and the gel coating is easy to apply, especially on the vertical surfaces.
  • gel could be used to fill the gaps between the bales in the stack, which gives the advantage that when the stack is opened for feeding, the oxygen 15 cannot penetrate into the stack and start the moulting at the opposite side of the opening of the stack.
  • Another application of the gel coating is for using the gel as a temporary cover when the feeding of the silage has stalled.
  • the needed amount of silage is taken out of the clamp or bale, and the opened surface is closed again with the gel coating, to prevent oxygen to enter the pit. This is an advantage, especially when small quantities of silage are required and the weather circumstances for moulting are good (warm weather).
  • the gel will be applied on the surface as a liquid.
  • the gel could be applied by pouring the liquid gel / foam onto the silage. By gravity action, it will dispense over the surface, and together with the viscosity and its adhesiveness, it will form a layer over, and partly integrate with the silage. After a certain time, the liquid will become solid by curing / setting / gelling and will form an airtight film.
  • the curing /setting / gelling could be initiated by a catalyst or by lowering of temperature when exposed to the normal ambient temperature outside (gelatin). The film will be at least airtight. For better integration with the top layer of the silage, the gel could also be rubbed onto the silage.
  • the gel / foam could be sprayed under pressure with a nozzle onto the silage, on which it will stick. By spraying, an equal coverage of the film over the silage could be easily realised.
  • the device for pouring on the gel / foam or for spraying or rubbing could be hand held or could be attached to devices for loading and / or compacting the clamp or to the transport / stacking devices for bales.
  • the advantage is that after that the clamp or stack or parts of that are formed, the coverage can be done immediately.
  • the advantage of having a dispensing device on the stacking device is a great advantage since the gel coating can be applied like mortar in a brick wall when stacking the bales onto each other. This is to fill-up the gaps or holes through which oxygen could penetrate after opening the stack at one side.
  • bale forming chamber a round baler
  • press channel a rectangular baler
  • the gel should be of an edible type, since it integrates with the outer layer of the silage and can not be removed. It does not need to be nutritious, but this could well be an advantage.
  • the gel is preferably a liquid gel of the type described in WO98/12239. Alternatively, all gels on an aqueous basis or non-aqueous basis, could be applicable.
  • the gel possibly could contain additives to prevent moult, support the non-permeability for oxygen of the gel, and to add better taste or nutritious value to the gel.
  • the gel additives can be in solid or liquid form, provided that they allow the gel, when set or cured to form a more or less solid airtight (and preferably also watertight) cover layer or coating.
  • the gel is made as a foam. This is to: (1) make it better to stick to vertical surfaces; (2) give a thicker layer for the same amount of liquid, more economical in use; (3) less chance of non-covered silage area; (4) to let it bridge holes in the surface of the silage; (5) to fill-up gaps and holes in bale stacks more easily; and, (6) to give a more flexible multi-layer surface which is less "cracky", better to chew.
  • the gel should be sticky with respect to the silage (or if applicable to the edible film when used, for example, as per Figure 4a).
  • the expansion factor of the foam should be preferably more than 5.
  • the making of the foam could be done by mixing the gel under pressure with a gas and thereafter letting it expand. This gas does preferably not contain oxygen. Also an under pressure liquefied gas (preferably CO 2 or N 2 0) could be mixed with the gel. After releasing the pressure in for instance a spray gun, the gel will be incorporated in a foaming form. If a catalyst is needed to cure / set the gel, this preferably could be added just before the expansion, but could also be done after the expansion of the foam by intensively mixing the foam with the catalyst.
